So I gotta do some parts shopping after my ride today (I'll post that latter). My handlebars survived but I'm thinking I've pressed my luck as far as I can go... so since I'm ordering parts I'm going to get a new handlebar. My question is, if your a fairly new rider without a strong preference, which bar bend should I get? There seems to be a dozen different styles and it's pretty confusing. The stock bars are fine, it would be nice if they were a little higher.

As for mirrors, has anyone tried the Acerbis fold-aways for dual sports? Rocky Mtn ATV carries them. I haven't priced the stockers yet, but I bet one is the same as two Acerbis (about $39).

 

the cr high bend is fine. pretty close to stock..... here are my mirrors.... these are the cheap moose racing bars, like 15$

 

Thanks EMS, always quick and with pics to boot!Are the Moose steel or aluminum?I don't mine steel but from what I read aluminum soaks up more vibrations? I was thinking about a Tusk, the price is 1/2 of the closest competitor. Are those the EMGO/Ken Sean mirrors?

 

Yea go with aluminum bars, ive herd these ones are as soft as stock ones....(bed easy) Ill keep these til i bend them i havent notices any bad amounts of vibration....
bikemaster mirrors..... http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...ng-Mirror.aspx

 

Hmm, from the website they look identical to the Ken Sean/EMGO....I would beat the same manufacturer produces all three.

 

Hey,
I put those mirrors on my bike and could never figure out the "proper" way to fold them down.....A picture is worth a thosand words!!!
